Domino's Pizza has debuted a one-of-a-kind, pizza-themed engagement ring, perfect for people who want to guarantee the end of their relationship in 30 minutes or less.

 

Conan

The WNBA is guaranteeing maternity leave for its players. In response, the NBA said, "If we offered our players paternity leave, there'd be no NBA."

 

"1917" was predicted to win Best Picture [at the Oscars] and it didn't. The producer was furious and said, "We fought World War I for nothing."

 

A Little Late With Lilly Singh

Gamers are better role models than basketball players because you can't cheat on your wife if you've never talked to a girl.

 

Did you know that Saudi Arabia gave a robot named Sophia citizenship? Looks like in Saudi Arabia you can have more rights as a robot than a woman.

 

"Frozen 2" is out six years after the original, which, coincidentally, is the exact amount of time it took to get "Let It Go" out of our heads the first time!

 

So let's get this straight: In Eastern Asia, everyone wants to be whiter; in North America, everyone wants to be tan. So, it turns out that the only thing everyone on Earth has in common is low self-esteem.

 

If you don't know, the friend zone is when you're told someone would be lucky to date you ... by the person who will never date you.

 

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Attorney General William Barr said that the president's tweets make it impossible for him to do his job. Meanwhile, Trump's tweets make it very possible for me to do my job.

 

I wanna wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! If you and that special someone agreed that you're not exchanging gifts this year, right now you're probably realizing that was a trap.

 

In Florida, there was a raccoon that had to be rescued from a vending machine. The rescue was pretty easy: firefighters just put in a dollar and hit A2.

The Democrats held a debate earlier tonight in Vegas, and because it's Vegas -- fun twist -- they replaced all the podiums with slot machines.

 

A deep-sea diver off the coast of Australia managed to capture a rather unusual photo. Experts say this is the world's only known pink manta ray. I gotta say, these gender reveal parties are getting out of control.

Jimmy Kimmel Live

While he was [in California], Trump took time to criticize our cities for the homelessness crisis we're experiencing and said he plans to do something about it. Which is good. It would be great if he let all the homeless people stay at a Trump Hotel. I hear they've got a lot of empty rooms.

Late Night With Seth Meyers
